Together these groups raised a huge banner that read: "Harpoon Makahs not whales!" Opposite the wake Natives were joined by members of the Freedom Socialist Party and other Indian rights defenders. They were successful in getting the hostile banner removed after chanting "Remove your racist banner." Apparently this shamed enough animal rights people for them take it down, but only after their "demand" was captured by a news cameras. =46SP organizer Guerry Hoddersen was quoted in the Seattle Times the next day. She stated, in effect, she was struck by the deep-going racism that any assertion of native rights evokes. She said it reminded her of the response of white bigots to the southern civil rights struggle. Indeed!
